ASVARO and the Electronics Flea Market are now on Facebook.
Check it out our FB Page and give us a "like".

The Electronics Flea Market is in lot B this year
unless noted otherwise.
This should avoid conflicts with other activities
on electronics flea market dates.
Most of our attendees like being under the solar panels in lot B
— providing light before dawn and some shade in the summer.

Buyers can park in any unrestricted/student parking on campus
with a valid parking permit.
Official parking information is available on the
De Anza College
parking page.
Do not park in staff or handicapped spots without the proper permits.
Daily parking permits (for regular/student parking spaces) can obtained
for $3 from silver-gray vending machines located in the parking areas.
The most convenient parking for EFM attendees is in lot B and lot C.
Buyers may also use the parking garage on lot C.
There is usually additional parking in lot A when lot B fills up.

The Electronics
Flea Market “swap meet” is held
on the second Saturday (pre dawn) of each month,
March through September (schedule)
(flyer [PDF]).
The flea market is organized by
ASVARO
for the benefit of non-profit amateur radio organizations
in the Silicon Valley.
The flea market was held in Sunnyvale in 2004-2005
and in previous years at Foothill College in Los Altos.
The organizations that participate in the flea markets are active
in amateur radio education, emergency communications,
and civic support activities.
